Elder Lin had barely finished speaking.
Immediately, several bodyguards waiting by the side were about to step forward and subdue Lin Qingxue.
Lin Qingxue was somewhat baffled.
What was happening?
Why did her grandfather want someone to deal with her when so few words had been exchanged?
She hadn't done anything wrong!
Lin Qingxue was very confused.
Lin Zhiping, sitting nearby, watching Lin Qingxue's panicked expression, his lips curled into a sinister smile.
'Hmph, just a little girl, and you want to compete with me? I'll see if I don't make you utterly obedient, you really think your wings are so tough!'
Just as the expressionless bodyguards were about to step forward and grab Lin Qingxue's arms.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was an explosion.
The glass windows of the conference room were suddenly shattered by someone, and a plainly-dressed woman then entered through the broken window, standing in the Lin Family's conference room.
Everyone was shocked for a moment, Elder Lin regained his composure and angrily demanded, "Who are you?"
The woman in plain clothes did not speak, she quickly stepped beside Lin Qingxue, raised her delicate hand, and struck the two bodyguards who were about to lay hands on Lin Qingxue!
"Bang!"
The woman's palm struck the chest of the bodyguards, their faces suddenly turned from white to red, and then they flew backward like kites, crashing into the wall.
Directly hitting the wall.
The burly bodies of the two bodyguards were imprinted on the wall for a full ten seconds, like a hanging painting, and only a second later, they slowly slid down the wall.
Elder Lin, seeing the woman's move, changed color and couldn't help but exclaim, "Striking like hanging a painting? A master of dark energy?"
The plainly dressed woman said nothing, turned around, and swept her gaze over the Lin Family members. Her eyes were calm as water, yet she emitted an imposing aura that intimidated and chilled everyone present.
"Miss Lin, let's go."
The woman in plain clothes gave the Lin Family members a cold warning look, then politely said to the somewhat baffled Lin Qingxue.
"Oh, oh…"
Lin Qingxue's mind was a mess at that moment.
She felt that things were changing too fast.
Originally, she had returned to the Lin family, planning to tell her grandfather that her small company would cooperate with Jinyu Group, and once she had paid back the money she owed to Mu Jinyu, she would merge her small company into the Lin Group.
However, before she could say a few words, her grandfather suddenly wanted to deal with her family-style.
Just as she was flustered and at a loss, a woman suddenly broke through the window, flung her grandfather's bodyguards aside, intimidated everyone present, stopping her grandfather and the others from saying anything further.
Then, this woman told her to leave with her.
Lin Qingxue did not know who this woman in plain clothes was, but since she had just saved her, she instinctively felt that the woman could not be a bad person, and so she followed her out of the Lin Family in a daze.
When she exited the Lin Family house, Lin Qingxue suddenly had a flash of insight and urgently asked, "Did Young Master Mu send you to protect me?"
"Young Master Mu?" The woman in plain clothes paused for a moment when she heard Lin Qingxue's question, then realizing that this was the surname of the New Dragon King, she nodded and said, "Yes."
"Phew, how did he guess that they were going to lay their hands on me?" Lin Qingxue asked, her eyes sparkling, in a soft voice.
"I don't know, the Dragon King just asked me to protect you,"
the woman in plain clothes said in a blunt tone.
Having said that, she said her farewells. With a swift move to the side, she disappeared without a trace.
Lin Qingxue looked around but couldn't find where the woman had gone, but she guessed that the woman must be hiding somewhere to protect her.
Thinking that Mu Jinyu had actually arranged for someone to protect her closely, Lin Qingxue felt warm inside, and the terrible mood caused by her grandfather's inexplicable treatment also vanished into thin air.
She hurriedly took out her phone and made a call to Mu Jinyu.
"Hello?"
Upon connecting, Mu Jinyu's clear voice came through.
"Young Master Mu, thank you," Lin Qingxue said sincerely.
"Thank me? What happened?" Mu Jinyu was somewhat puzzled.
Lin Qingxue then told him about what had happened after she had returned home.
"Hmm, nonsense!"
After listening to Lin Qingxue's words, Mu Jinyu immediately guessed that Elder Lin must have been inflamed by Lin Zhiping, making up such claims about Lin Qingxue trying to hog everything and even resorting to domestic discipline.
This old fool, whose mind wasn't as sharp due to his age, barely asked her a few questions before he tried to lay his hands on her.
Fortunately, he had already assigned Dragon King Hall Members to secretly protect many people, and since Lin Qingxue was also considered under his command, he had provided her with a subordinate for protection as well.
Otherwise, Lin Qingxue would no doubt have been subjected to mistreatment by the Lin Family by now!
"Find yourself a place to stay for now. I'll take care of this for you. Who I choose as my partner is none of your grandfather's business, and he dares to discipline you at home!"
Mu Jinyu instructed Lin Qingxue and then abruptly ended the call.
"Young Master Mu, Young Master Mu…"
Still shaken, Lin Qingxue wanted to say more to Mu Jinyu, but he had already hung up the call.
After calling out a few times, Lin Qingxue reluctantly ended the call as well.
She stood on the street, recalling Mu Jinyu's recent words, knowing that he was going to take action against the Lin Family. If this had been a few days earlier, she would have definitely tried to persuade Mu Jinyu to stop.
But having been subjected to unfair treatment continuously at the Lin Family over the last few days, Lin Qingxue felt exhausted and didn't want to persuade him anymore.
…
Inside the Lin Family conference room.
Everyone watched Lin Qingxue walk out of the conference room with the woman in plain clothes, their expressions still stiff and ugly.
Seeing the bodyguards lying weak on the floor, in pain and seemingly unable to move, they wanted to shout at Lin Qingxue to not leave but didn't dare to speak out.
The guards of Elder Lin, all of whom were experts retired from the military and each could fight ten men, had been instantly incapacitated by the woman in plain clothes, a truly terrifying sight.
If she struck at them, wouldn't it be as easy as slicing vegetables?
Several minutes after the woman in plain clothes left, none of the Lin Family dared to speak.
The main reason was Elder Lin's expression, black as coal; who would dare say anything?
Elder Lin's face was stormy, still pondering the incident that had just occurred—a stranger had come to his Lin Family and taken Lin Qingxue away as if nobody else was there, a clear slap to his face!
But there was nothing he could do, no one in the vast Lin Family was a match for that woman!
Thus he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
"Ding!"
Just then, a message notification sound chimed from Elder Lin's phone.
He checked his phone and saw that it was from Lin Qingxue.
The message was brief, simply saying, "Grandfather, be careful, the president of Jinyu Group is now angry."
"Damn it, he's angry let him be angry, but you come to me showing off!"
Elder Lin, furious at the message, exploded with profanity, completely forgetting to consider how serious the consequences might be when the president of Jinyu Group was angry!
"Ring ring!"
Before he could continue.
The phone started ringing.
Seeing the caller ID, Elder Lin didn't hesitate and immediately answered.
As soon as the call connected, a thunderous roar erupted:
"Old Dog Lin, what the hell have you done? Don't drag me down with your stupidity; our companies' cooperation ends here!"
No sooner had the voice finished than the call was abruptly disconnected before Elder Lin could react.
"What's going on?"
Elder Lin was baffled. The caller was a very important partner of Lin Group and usually had a good relationship with him, but he had just called him an old dog!
